After all, the Cathedral authori ties put in the brackets, the fans, the window cords and the stained glass. Unless it was a misunder- standing, the writer gave a con- tribution for the fans. A former preacher asked for money, and it may have been for something else, but a good deal was said about the fans at the time.

What can we do! We must have electric light and unless a sub..." stitute can be suggested, the lights must hang from something that hits the eye as we look around the Cathedral.
